Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Mini Skirt' is a petite and flirty Hosta that forms a miniature mound of very wavy, thick, blue-green leaves with creamy yellow margins in spring. In summer, the centre turns more green and the edge lightens to creamy white. Pale lavender flowers with deeper purple stripes appear closely packed together on short, very proportionately sized scapes. A real collectors item.
